Happy Sunday! This week’s headline polls:

  • The best use of polling this week is in gauging the public’s reaction to the CDC’s decision to pause one-dose J&J vaccinations. So far, it has not changed public demand for vaccines or increase overall hesitancy. Two like on this: one and two.

  • Another important poll found that a broad majority of Americans oppose laws that would prevent transgender athletes from participating in school sports.

  • Finally, a CBS News poll picked up a big partisan divide on whether Americans would use a time machine to travel to the past or to the future. The results are exactly what you’d expect but not immediately clear as a question to ask to get at the underlying dynamic of nostalgia.

That’s pretty much it. Are you vaccinated yet? Would you go forward in time or back? I’ll be visiting this thread periodically for the next few hours as I finish up the weekly newsletter.
